About:
Members of the Hurricane Football Club recently traded the football field for the running course as they came together to participate in the annual Joe Koziarz 5K Challenge.
The players joined fellow community members in supporting the J. Koziarz Memorial Run, an annual event that brings people together in remembrance while supporting a meaningful cause.
The Hurricane athletes represented their program with pride, demonstrating that teamwork and commitment extend far beyond game day. By taking part in the 5K, the players had an opportunity to support their community, honor the legacy behind the event, and contribute to a tradition that continues to bring people together.
Events like the Joe Koziarz Memorial Run show the powerful role athletics can play in strengthening community connections. Whether competing on the field or showing up to support an important local cause, student-athletes have the ability to lead by example.
